EPILOGUE
I can feel the sun in my cold stone skin. But all I see is darkness. I desperately want to see the sun again and to hold Edward in my arms. It has been months since I have last saw him, and that last time, he was badly wounded. If only I've been much more physically stronger, I could have saved him from those guards. I could have been much more helpful.
I really don't know what the Volturi wanted from me. I was not strong. There's nothing special about me except my clumsiness that I have inherited from being the human Bella.
I heard Aro as he slowly walk towards me.
"Bella sweet, why are you alone in this forest?"
He tried to look sincere, and he succeeded. But there was something in his voice that made me hesitant to answer the truth.
"Hunting." I murmured lowly.
His face turned into a frown, he looked confused all of the sudden.
"My dear, you don't have to hunt anymore. Jane will bring us a group that will be our feast for tonight!" he smiled. A smile that made me flinched.
"I don't want to be a monster like you." I muttered to myself and left him standing alone in the forest.
I hunted all night long. Avoiding the-what they call-feast. I just couldn't bear to see those people die knowing that if I could have only been much stronger, I would have the ability to save them.
I groaned, looking at the sky. There were stars all over the sky. I felt a pain that shoot through a hole in my heart.
I missed him so much. He and all of my family. Being away from them-especially him- is like being in that dark hole again. There was only darkness. It felt like dying.
Don't worry love; soon we will see each other again.
I flinched as I heard his voice. I haven't been hearing his voice since the last two years, the time when he left to protect me.
I havent been imagining his voice because for the last two years, he was always with me. He never left me.
This time, I left him, to protect him and my family.
I went to the cliff where I have been spending my time since I got here in Voltera. It was the only place where I could find peace and freedom. If only Edward was here to share it with me.
I broke a sob. I missed him so much.
I remembered the way he held me in his arms.
I gasped again. Thinking about him only brought pain to my heart.
"Edward. I want to see you now." I whispered stupidly.
I looked around, hoping that I would find Edward magically. But he wasn't there. He was nowhere to be found…
